I swapped memory cards with my daughter as mine had a bigger memory. However it didn't seem to work properly in her camera. Her camera now freezes on the opening screen when its switched on and does nothing else, the lens also refuses to go back in. I put the card back in my camera and now mine just switches off when you turn it on after making 3 blip noises! Now both cameras don't work with or without the memory card. I've checked the manual for mine which has no explainations. Also checked bat

The first mistake happened when your card was tried in your daughter's camera. She should have immediately formatted it first since the card was optimized for your camera's operating system. Since she didn't do that and tried to use it in her camera, ...

I have a Samsung VP MX10 Camcorder. When I make a video, it plays back ok on the camera's own screen. But when I take the SD card out of the camera and put it into my PC (Vista), it only plays back the sound, with no picture. Am I using the wrong type of SD card? I have installed the Samsung software onto my PC and I have formatted the new SD card, but still without success. What is going wrong and can you help me solve this problem? Thankyou.

Hey there, i dont know what happened with my Olympus camera, but whenever i put the memory card into it it will turn on but freeze (ex: the screen will just go black but the lens expands) if i take out the memory card then it works fine. Any help? Also i was cleaning out my card and deleted the main folder where the pictures were saved (it made 2 because there were too many pictures in the first one) the first one and the second one had different names..does that have anything to do with my came

Brutal, it sounds as if you are or were formatting and "cleaning out the card" on the computer. If this is a correct assumption then you need to back up a little and reformat the memory card to the camera. If you have no luck your really have it corr ...

When I put my memory card in my camera it says Err Cf and won't let me take pictures and won't show any of my previous pictures on the card on the screen on the camera. When I put the cf card in my card reader and plug it into my computer, nothing happens. The computer doesn't register the card at all and I tried putting a different memory card in the reader and it worked so it definitely isn't the card reader that is the problem. I don't care if the card is broken but I have a bunch of picture

Hi There.It sounds to me from what you described that the card has gone. Unfortunately , with volatile memory such as flash drives or memory cards a recovery is usually not possible as the chip where the data is stores is destroyed. ...

Memory card Hi, I bought a larger memory card for my Umax Astrapix 530 camera. I put it in and turned on the camera and it just freezes. I guessed that I needed to formatt it, but the buttons on the camera wont work with new card in. Once I put the old card in which is 64mb it works fine, but the new card is 2GB. What's wrong and how can I use it please?Thanks

Format problem I have had my camera for about a year now and the other day I had put my memory card into my laptop (lost usb cord so I just take the memory card out of my camera and plug it into my laptop). Upon doing that it told me I needed to format my disk and I said no, so then I take out the memory card and I put it back into my camera and my camera tells me I have to format my disk, so reluctantly I did. Well now it will let me take about three pictures then it will freeze and wont do any

The first thing you should do is get a new USB lead.\015\012\015\012while your waiting for your new lead:\015\0121)find out if your laptop crashes with that card, or with any cards/devices.\015\012\015\0122)try putting t ...

Possible that the SD card is having errors, So take a scan on the card and confirm. Also check the card on another PC to confirm if there are images on the card. If not there can be errrors in the camera. It will be ideal to have another SD card ( bo ...

Is there a way to "restart" my Casio Exilim EX-Z700? While I was taking a picture it seemed to freeze while it was trying to display the picture I just took - then, with the lens still popped out the screen stayed blank and it turned off, and now it won't turn on. The lens is still stuck in the "out" position. No buttons work. I tried to put it in the cradle to charge, and tried a different battery as well. Nothing works. Camera is dead!

Normally changing the battery solves this.Make sure you replace it with a good quality new battery and make sure it goes in the right way around as when you get in a flap it often ends up in the wrong way! ...

Coolpix P60 - had it hooked to tv to view photos - was working fine. Unhooked it and now the lens stays out - it retracts when you hit the on/off button, but the lens always pops out again. Cannot view anything (viewfinder and screen are both blank except for camera settings). Have changed batteries, put in a different memory card - nothing seems to work..

My camera will not read Kodak pics I put on the memory card, thay are ther as far as the kodak program and file manager are concerned, but the camera will not display them on its screen. The pics were taken with this camera, uploaded into computer, pics were deleated off camera, then some put back on card but camera will not display. Any ideas??

Once the pictures have gone from the camera to the computer a different code or tag is used so the computer programing can read it it's a one way ticket from the camera to the computer hard drive but not back. Once the file is opened altered (by dele ...

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 Problem: Camera is not saving photos Hi, my camera started responding very slugglishly yesterday. I took a few pictures, and some of them wouldn't save. If I tried to switch my camera off, the screen would freeze on the "Saving photos". I checked the SD card on my laptop and those photos were coming up as blanks. I formatted the card and the camera recognises it, but it's still not saving photos. When I try to view the photo I've just taken, the screen goes blank

Are you formatting the card in the camera as you're supposed to? Have you tried going into the menu and finding "reset" and followed the on-screen instructions? Do you have photos on the internal memory? If so, remove your card and format the camera ...

Although when I put the card back in the card reader it allows me to download the same photos back to the computer. Any help would be appreiciated. Thanks!

The operating system of your camera and computer are not the same. Transferring pictures is from camera to computer or card reader to computer, not the other way. ...

Got me a new 4GB memory-card today. When i put it into my Casio QV-R51 Digital Camera the camera did not work. The screen was back and the camera just stopped, after a few seconds the message card-error came up on the screen. HELP !

I have the Canon Rebel XTi. I am getting a message the CF card has a problem. I am able to put card in computer and it opens the files that are on the card. The camera screen shows a blank space where the photo count should be. I have cleaned the connectors on the body of the camera and the lense. The camera is maybe 1 1/2 years old and I have taken maybe 10,000 photos. could the card need to be replaced? or could it be the camera itself :
HiLook inside the CF reader at the pins... is there one or more that are bent or broken? This is most likely the problem.If we need help with parts or the repair (every pin has to be soldered on individually) please let us kno ...

When taking a picture with my Pentax Optic M10, there are suddenly lines across the screen. When I attempt to view the pictures on the computer, the card is not recognized. When I put a new card in the camera, the same thing happens with the picture. When I view the card (both old and new) in another camera, I get a "card error" message. Is the camera hooped?

It's likely something wrong with your camera.You may do the following test:Try to format your card (warning: everything will be wiped) and then take some more pictures.If the problem persists, then you probably need to take it to a ...

I normally use a small 32mb memory card in the olympus D-390 but used an olympus fe-130 over the holidays with a 256mb memory card. I do not have the usb cord for the fe-130 so I put the 256mb card in the d-390 camera and plugged it into my computer to load up my photos but I get a blue screen on the camera with options of Power off or format. Is the card too big for the camera? it works fine in the other to let me take photos and view them, if I had the cord for it or went to a store to print

Many cameras will not read cards written on other, different cameras. There should be no problem taking the card to a store and having the pics printed or put on a disc. Or get a cord for the 390, or a card reader for your computer. ...

Neither the fujifilm 256MB xd card nor th enew Olympus 2GB xd card will work in the A340. I've put the card in and went to Format it in the camera as per teh menu. It acts like it does but when you take a picture it says "write error" When you turn it on again it still says "card not initialized." I've tried formating them with the camera on (lens cover open) and using the menu and with the camera off (lens cover closed powered on using the button on the back) and using the menu from that screen

The cover on the battery and SD card opening on the camera broke off and couldn't be found on the ground. A small piece of cover and the hinge are still on the camera. When the camera is turned on a message 'card cover open' comes on screen and though I made a temporary cover with a thin piece of wooden pop stick and another with some stiff card and taped them on the camera still came up with same message. Can I get a new cover/door or what can I do??

I imagine the only way to obtain a proper part is to send it to an approved Olympus service centre, hopefully under warranty (though I expect they would not regard this as covered).The camera must have some way of telling that the door is ...

I recently bought a SanDisk 4GB SDHC card for my DXG-572V. I put it in the camera, and I turned the power on. A screen comes up saying "Format Card?". I have tried selecting both "Yes" and "No", but each time I select either one, the camera powers off automatically. I just installed brand new batteries, also. How can I get past this screen?

Your problem is that you are trying to use an incompatible memory card. The DXG-572V is not SDHC compliant and will only work with regular SD cards. In theory it's compatible up to 4GB but in practice there are few standard SD devices whi ...
